Time for me to go away
Ill get a new name, Ill get a new face
Time for me to go away
No I dont belong in this place
But Im not gonna ask you why
You think the parade has passed you by
Or if everything good is gone into the western sky
I hate to see you look that way
All the beauty has left your face
Thats such an easy thing to give away
Thats impossible to replace
So Ill take you in my two weekends
And Ill throw you so high
Watch you fall forever in the western sky
And when you land youll turn into some kind of prize
Into somebodys sweet prize
I wont see you no more
Who am I to rate that high
The worlds a shadow of what went before
The world gives off none of its own light
So please be happy baby
And please dont cry
Even though the parade has passed us by
Well you can still see it shining in the western sky
So why wont you stop crying
You can still see it shining
